[QUOTE="CBU93, post: 5893991, member: 599"] Not sure this is the best place for it but it’s going here for now. I’ve had some cows being run on part of my property for the last 10 years or so. Part of a deal made before moving closer to the property. I had my reasons…the hobby farmers did not take care of the place like I wanted them to so I have told them to leave and take their cows with them…well not I. Those terms but they will be gone by December. I am planting the pasture and hayfield the cut hay off of in tree. I know from a deer habitat standpoint I should just let it go fallow, but I want my kid/grand kids to be able to get an income off the property in the future. Pines on the hills, hardwoods in the bottom land. Firebreaks on the propert edges. Question is, how would you look to manage…I am thinking access road along ridge in middle of property, leaving 2 acre dove field and around another two acres in food plots…also planting fire break sections along northern property line that joins 200 acres of cutover…what else should I think about? Over all property is approximately 100 acres, quite a bit of road frontage, one major ditch/creek running through it… Deer is the primary focus animal, followed by dove, then small game..no spring turkeys but would love to draw some local birds in….
